It is with great joy that we announce Deborah Colageo as our new Music Minister and Choir Director!

Deborah comes to us with an extensive musical career that spans a lifetime. She began playing piano as a child and at the age of 9 was chosen to accompany her school chorus. She is a gifted organist and additionally has led sectionals with singers. Her talents also include playing keyboard for musical theatre rehearsals and shows. She currently works part-time at Cushing Academy as a collaborative pianist with the Music Director.

She greatly enjoys leading singers and is looking forward to working with the Anthem Choir. Deborah is interested in fostering the musical talents of individual musicians in the parish as well. As a teacher of piano and voice lessons, she loves teaching the technique of music. Deborah loves to learn and develop her craft and to this end has studied with many teachers over the years. Her love of the Lord Jesus, as well as her passion and commitment to sacred and classical music is evidenced by her joyful spirit and desire to encourage and uplift others through her musical gifts.

Deborah's first Sunday at Church of the Good Shepherd will be September 8. Please join me in welcoming Deborah to our faith community!
